#it's a bit hard to use without commas tho lolol. luckily i dont use a lot of ;- 's.

can't believe i inflicted --|"/,'\_|-•/_' on this poor whiteboard

it's closed now but i had a lot of fun coming in late and messing around... complimenting people anonymously... being cryptic...

[ CC:

Dark (code): WOAH WOAH WOAH! hold on!

Second: ?????

Dark (code): before i die...

know this

...

gotcha

Chosen (code): STOP!

Chosen (code): you're going to waste so much time!!!*

Dark (code): THAT'S WHY IT'S FUNNY

Chosen (code): DAMN IT DARK ]

* --|"/,'\_|-•/_' is hard to translate quickly

[ CC:

Dark (code): *lol*

Chosen (reluctantly): *also lol* ]

it's an inside joke with myself that Dark and Chosen learned / made up / found my secret code, --|"/,'\_|-•/_' , and that's just how they talk now by default. either to mess with people, for privacy, or just that they didn't feel like learning other languages...

or...?

and then i stumbled upon @nesiclor's AvA:NO and one of(?!?! so many questions- i am excited to see where this goes! it's wicked cool thus far \o/) its languages (example from last July) and... ideas happened.

something about different types of stickfigures' code consisting of different proportions of --|"/,'\_|-•/_' ... with connections to '/|..'L'_'||-• '/-|L'-_[,- ... involving the unique dialects its original writers had ... many ideas!

a bit of hcs about the Internet/Desktop environment, a bit of biology, a bit of psychology, a little in and a little out of canon, etc. etc.

this all culminated in a jumble of notes fic exploring a scenario where when Second meets CG in AvA IV, they don't understand him at first: his speech sounds kind of like hard drive whirring and error beeps.

but then, pop! he acclimates to how the others are speaking. that's convenient. everyone forgets it ever happened. think that scene in WALL-E when EVE tries out a bunch of languages before finding one that works. or little kids working out how to talk to one another easily because they're so good at language acquisition...

...until the chosen one returns, you could say,

and huh y'know something about the sound he makes is familiar

[ CC:

Dark (code): LOL

Dark (code): look at this guy

Chosen (code): lmao

Second: ??? ]

aaaaand shenanigans ensue.

that's more of a small AU than a headcanon of mine though. and i probably won't even post that fic

it's mostly very dramatic, stream-of-consciousness bullet points

and why they're being friendly with post-ep.V Dark is another story entirely (long story short this time i just made it as a meme before thinking about ANY of this-)

but regardless

you'll probably see more |-•( |'['-L'[,- from me. ~
